Dragonforce, Ensiferum and Rhapsody Of Fire to play Charlotte!

🇺🇸🇨🇦 We’re coming back to North America this November/December to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Inhuman Rampage, playing the full album live for the first time ever, along with other fan favorites and brand new songs.

This will be the debut tour featuring our new vocalist Alissa White-Gluz, plus special guests Ensiferum and Rhapsody Of Fire 🐉

Public on-sale begins this Friday, May 29th at 10am local time. Citi and artist presales start at 12pm ET today. Tickets available at the link in bio 🎸

“Twenty years is a long time to do anything, let alone survive the music industry and still be so inspired to continue doing what we love. Together we will honor what made Inhuman Rampage matter, while showing people exactly where we’re going next.” - Herman Li

“As a long-time fan of DragonForce, having seen them in concert multiple times over the last 20 years, I am beyond excited to be bringing such iconic music to life with these amazingly skilled musicians in such a fun and inspiring environment. It feels great to showcase all the colours of my voice in technically challenging, deeply energizing, highly addictive songs. Creating and performing with musicians who deeply care about the music and concerts as much as I do is so refreshing. Plus, with Blue Medusa going full throttle and gaining so much momentum in parallel, I feel like I am permanently in the creative zone, which is exactly where I want to be!” - Alissa White-Gluz

See you at a show!
